I had never heard of the film Vantage Point but IMDB says it was released in New Zealand in mid-March. YouTube has a bad-ass car chase from it. I understand it’s set in Salamanca, Spain, but this clearly looks like México to me—the cars are the big giveaway (car buffs, look out for the Chevrolet Montana, Volkswagen Gol and Volkswagen Polo Classic, while Dennis Quaid drives not an Opel Astra H, but a Chevrolet Astra H, if you look at the badging) and it doesn’t look that much like what I have seen of Spain in photographs. (Friends with digital cameras must make life hard for film-makers these days!)
Sound quality is not what it should be, so it was probably pirated at the cinema.

It's a blimmin' awful movie, apart from the car chase, which is pretty good. And yes, according to the trivia section on IMDb, it's Mexico.

My review of the film is here.

Thank you both—Simon, I’ll take a gander at your link now.
